Hi guys, this forum have been a great help to me in recearching male pattern baldness and what treatments are available. I recently purchased some Finesteride from this site which I have been taking now for a week. It is the 1 mg stuff.
I have some thining to the crown / vertex and am looking for a) maintenance b) any regrowth would be a definate bonus!
I have now accepted that I am going bald, which came as a shock... I didnt think I would have male pattern baldness at 23, and seem to have no obvious relatives which suffered from this. I would be fairly happy to stay on this treatment for a few years and see how it goes.. if i start going bald in my 30's then so be it, not 23 tho please!!
I am feeling a mixed range of emotions about taking finasteride, scared, hopefull, sceptical are just some of them! I hope I respond well to the treatment and have little to no sides, and my current hair is maintained! But i wont risk any serious side effects from this drug... it's really not worth it (in my oppinion).
As I said above this site has been a great source of information.. but it can be confusing to decipher fact from fiction. I appreciate everyone responds differently to treatments. I have tried the search facility but always end up getting more confused!
I read about chopping tablets into halfs is nearly as effective as a full pill, does this apply to the pills i have: 1mg Finesteride (Finpecia)? Or must these be consumed as a whole
Does the drug have any significant effect on facial hair? My worry is that I could possibly have the same small amount of facial hair on my face that I have now, years down the line, because of this treatment!
What the hell is brain fog? and how do i know when i have got it?
Is there any studys that show that achohol has negetive effects to people taking finasteride? I am not talking excesive drinking, but more your average weekend booze ups?
What are the main signs of early receading to look out for?
Any help appreciated!![/u]
